my mom used to always tell me that when you find your soulmate, your version of beauty just springs to life. when you find the one, the world just becomes that more wonderful and worth living in.
she said it all happens like tons of blooming flowers showing their colours for the first time in spring. i doesn't happen suddenly, instead it goes gradually and slowly. you don't realize it at first, but suddenly everything bursts into colour and beauty.
i never believed she was right,

until now.

because since i met wendy,
everything has become beautiful.

– hey, have you ever met someone that made everything so much better? like so much more beautiful?
– i don't know, everything already is kinda beautiful. i mean, there's always the bad things in life, but... yeah, you know?

i was at joy's house, and i needed to be certain that this wasn't just a thing my mom told me and i just happened to feel the same.
with what she just said, i know even less.

– why do you ask? she asked all of a sudden.
– o-oh that's um... nothing, really, i-
– we all know you like wendy, it's obvious... is that how she makes you feel?
– how could you tell?!
– oh please, you look at her with big puppydog eyes, you hit her butt at least ten times a day, everytime you both look at eachother it seems like you're braindead, practically drooling. not to mention that you have that little twinkle in your eyes now.
– shit. it's really that obvious??
– it really is, irene, she ends the conversation with a lighthearted chuckle.

it really is.

but what twinkle?
what spark of liveliness that changed since wendy came?
nothing felt like it had changed, except those colours of the sunrise.

i don't get it.


joy's weird.
